CIRCULATION OF PARIS PAPERS.

Their Large Profts-Advertising Returns.
Newspaper Announcements.
The Paris newspapers make large profit
on their circulation-when they have any.
The Petit Journal sells for a sou, but the
other dailies are rated at two and three
sous apiece, and, as mentioned, their COM
position and press work, and the small
quantity Of paper their editions require are
very cheap. They are, however, under some
expenses of which American newspaper
publishers have no knowledge. In Paris,
for example, every newspaper is distributed
BY its own carriers. There is no general
distributing agency and no carrier under
takes to ''serve' more than one paper. The
carriers, too, must bear the papers to the
vendors in the kosks. All this means delay
and outlay for the publishers.
Nor are the advertising returns to be
compared with those Of American or Eng
lish journals The theatres do not adver-
tise, the railway companies do not advertise,
and the advertiser generally is rather
shy bird, except when the newspaper is of
ancient foundation and wide repute. On the
other hand, there are daily journals in
which every line is made to pay, and to pay
handsomely. In one Of the great dailies,
following an article by the chief editor, one
often happens upon paragraph announc-
ing, for instance, that an Brown" the
new novel, has reached its fiftieth edition"
The writer adds: "This is not at all won
derful, when one takes into account the re-
markable talent Of the author, NJ. Robin
SON." Inquiry at the Librairie Nouvelle
having disclosed the fact that the original
edition Of I'M. Brown is still on the pub
isher's shelves 1t is plain that the news
papers announcement is reclame, and
reclame Of this sort is quoted at about 500
francs
1t is almost the rule for local managers
and European impresarii to enter into q con-
tract with two or three Of the principal
newspapers for a certain quantity Of space,
to be filled by them annually, at stated Pc
RODS From Is francs to Is francs line
is demanded for this privilege. A year OF
two ago ono Of the leading dailies made
room for a news item announcing the be
trothal Of a young American girl to an Ital-
ian prince. Although no names were used
the persons referred to could not be mis-
taken. The mother Of the maiden advised
the editor that the report was groundless
and asked him to so proclaim it. This he
refused to do. Then she sent him letter
with request that he would print it over
her signature. The editor was willing, but the
letter, he said, must be paid for It ap-
peared in print, and so francs a line was the
price exacted and paid for its publication.

The expert in diamonds looked at the
young lady severely and inquired if she de-

"Oh, yes, l must have something the

embarrassed.
Examining the stone the jeweler stated
that be could furnish similar one and set
it for 800.
"Well, l declare, thought it would cost
at least $3.50" exclaimed the fair creature
Tell me, is this not pure white stoner
